I hope this is the right forum for this question
So, to make a long story short, I just installed a Natures Comfort NCB-250 outdoor wood boiler. It is heating my home via a water to air heat exchanger over the furnace. All the leaks are fixed, boiler is working great.
Last year, I ran my furnace on manual and just left the blower on and the hot air getting sucked into the cold air of my furnace 24/7. Had a junk indoor wood furnace. So I have "fixed" a massive problem of having to fill the furnace every two hours to keep the pipes from freezing... And thats about all it did.
Now, I have my indoor furnace blower set to auto to keep a steady temp. The blower made a loud humming noise before it started up for the last few days. Now it just sits there humming. It will go if I "help" the fan only. It turns on for 3 min, off for 3 min making a loud humming sound, almost like a welder. I helped it a couple times to start up but now its almost 2am and its obviously not going to magically start working again... So I can't sleep because I have to keep helping the blower get started.
The exhaust vent fan for the outside vent just gets hot and doesn't do anything. So far I don't think anything is a fire hazard.
Does anyone know of any tutorials on how to mesh a wood furnace properly with a propane furnace that will (hopefully) never see propane again?
Also, what the heck happened to my stupid furnace blower??? Google is all over the place, from faulty tranformers to Feng Shui.
